University of California, Berkeley professor Jerel Ezell argued that Democrats should stop relying on traditional racial politics to win elections.
In a Politico opinion piece published Friday, Ezell noted that Democrats, despite their continued reliance on Black, Latino, Indigenous and Asian voters, found themselves surprised by President Donald Trump's gains with some of those groups in the 2024 presidential election.
"The 2024 presidential election left the Democrats’ multiracial coalition in tatters," Ezell wrote. "Nonwhite people voted in higher percentages for Trump in 2024 than they did in 2020, in some cases by double-digit increases. Democrats are now in the thick of a come-to-Jesus reckoning over these losses, and it should begin with this obvious truth: There is no deep cultural, social, economic or political linkage between Black, Latino, Indigenous and Asian Americans — at least not one that can be leveraged by the party for votes."

Yeah “people of color” is like saying “people of fat”.
At this point they listen to the Movie Star and the Millionaire too much.
Too late.
yeah
quit being a bigot by generalizing about people based on their physical characteristics
Karliner’s rant:
People of color, colored people, blacks, negrahs what WHAT?...what is the danged difference?
Homeless, houseless,
illehals, migrants,
Mativs, American Indians,
Asians,
Hispanics, Mexicans, LatinX...knock it off.
So tired of “professionals changing the BS definitions of people.
He/she, she/her, ze/zit, they/them.
Like my social psychology teacher stated over and over and made certain ANYONE doing the selective racial BullSH*T he’s drop them ten points. After five he booted them.
There’s one human race he said( Ecuadoran by culture) and made sense.
>> Yeah “people of color” is like saying “people of fat”.
“Colour.”
When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black
And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray
And you calling me colored?
I never understood where this term “people of color” came from.
We were told decades ago that it was insulting to say “colored people”. But for whatever reason “people of color” was deemed okay.
>> ze/zit
ROFLMAO
White is a color too.
If they did this, then Leftists would have to stop calling everybody who disagrees with them about anything racist....and we all know they simply cannot do that.
Yeah, ya gotcher coloreds there...see?
-Archie Bunker
You can use the two terms that Chris Rock has for black people.
Is this a talking point or an order?
Most of them prefer to be referred to as Americans. “People of Color” is a dumbass honky liberal thing.
Oregon Eliminates Educational Standards
Annually Oregonians need to be reminded students are no longer required to demonstrate skills in reading, writing, and math. Until 2026, an Oregon high school diploma no longer guarantees academic achievement, but only participation in a system with undefined parameters. The legislators, school districts, and the governor supporting Senate Bill 744 saw that this “will benefit Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color”.
The state adopted the position held by many 19th century abolitionists. When I read Fredrick Douglass’ autobiographies, one passage always stays with me. After speaking to an abolitionist audience, Douglass considered the evening a great success, because he concluded his talk believing these people were convinced, he was equally human with them.
He mentioned this as a significant event, because many supporters of black freedom questioned whether these people were fully human. If educators would treat minorities as individuals, programs would allow opportunities for achievement commensurate with those they see for white students.
I remember Dr. Martin Luther King saying, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character…..little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”
To me these men’s understanding of brotherhood and individual value proves more meaningful than perceptions of racial or ethnic inferiority.
Oregon just dropped all graduation standards, failing all of its students in the name of ‘equity’

I esp. found their acronym "P.O.C." absurdly grating on the nerves. Sounds positively dehumanizing!
On a par with rejecting "Old Blighty" and instead referring to "Britain" as "Airstrip One."
Regards,
You're forgetting the brief, but memorable tenure of "Afro-American" - lasted from the second season of "Good Times" until the cancellation of "What's Happening?"
